Hello, welco
I am a certified Full Stack Web Developer, located in the Portland, Oregon area. I enjoy designing and creating, as much as I enjoy finding solutions to difficult problems, and maximizing efficency balanced with elegance. No problem too small or too big, I love reaching for the stars.
Software engineering has been a passion of mine since I was young. I started programming many years ago, but I've recently had the opportunity to hone my skills with a focus on web development after pursing other passions of mine, such as restaurateur, and photography.
(Fun fact, all images on this site were taken by me! The main image was during the 2018 solar eclipse.)
My other interests are volunteering for youth programs and mental health. I have participated in many different volunteer efforts to give back to the community. I love to help others when I can, including through teaching, mentoring, or just providing an ear to listen. My goal is help everyone feel a little more connected, to each other and to the world, in this vast universe.
